Susan Lewis takes you though just what women and their families go though trying to fight this horrible disease. As a breast cancer survivor, along with having to watch several members of my family go though this, it was a great inspiration for me. The story line was hard for me at first. Did I really want to read this book? The answer was yes. I needed to find out just how these two characters dealt with all the ups and downs.
With NEVER SAY GOODBYE author, Susan Lewis has provided me with great inspiration.
